i still fail to se the issue when the shackle doesnt invert under full compression.
so after reading through your link, it doesnt answer whats actually wrong with having a greater shackle angle than most, especially when it works with no ill effects at all.
i could understand if it was smashing the shackle against the chassis as in some of the pics, but i beleive that only happens when u have to much arc in the spring.

As you can see the shackle angle is very low which has several negative effects: 1. Springs bottom out easily over bumps. 2. Soft ride handling on corners. 3. Somewhat limited spring flex.
Taken from the link in the thread I posted :roll:

What springs are you using Mick ? I am pretty sure Simon is still RUF with stock chassis mount and just extended shackle on the front. I had a FULL RUF done on mine but I used a custom length main in a soft 3 inch pack and it flexed and felt pretty good.

If you turned that shackle around, you would, in a way, have anti inversion....
